| James -
You beat me to this! Nice to see some fencing coverage in one of our papers. The printed version features a number of photos with a fair amount of visual profile.

| This is exactly the kind of human interest story that can get fencing more media coverage if leveraged correctly. I think it's a great testament to the fitness and resiliency of women fencers and wish her luck! |

| She was my coach for 8 years. Tough as nails woman. She used to hold her babies to her chest and do sit-ups. Now that is quality time with the family.

| We meet her in 1985 in Chicago. Fred Rhodes bought her and team over from China. My company at the time paid for all 3 air fares. My wife was giving 2 of Jujie foils one was used in the 84 Olympics. We showed her and her escort around town. Took them out for chinse food at our favorite rest. The food came back greater then before.

| You must have made a very good impression, since she decided to live in North America after that.
